Thank christ they never picked Benny Mk II

[themanonthehill]

How utterly sh*t would we be without him.
Tried his bollocks off last night.
At least we'll have him this weekend.
What is the bet Shannon has an `injury' to save ronald and sheens the ignomony of having to drop him ??

 

[bjm8]

I got (and agree with) the last line but the rest i didnt get. Explain?

how was your trip to brisvegas anyway muli? couldnt find you at any of the locals, although i was looking.

 

[themanonthehill]

I was in the cxton pre game
The trip was sh*t ... got to the airport this morn for my 730 flight ... all ready and on to board .. electrical fault .. all off .. we have to find another plane .. they find one, board us and it taxis only for another electrical fault to return to gate where we sat for another half hour whilst it was fixed. To say by 10.30 this morning i was seething would have been an understatement along the lines of those who say `shannon didn't have the best game'

I think he means thank christ Farah wasn't picked for the blues team or we'd really be fugged!

John Morris to 5/8 and Fitzy to fullback
Has sheens been attending functions with Ben cousins ?

I actually thought that was pretty sane. I think Sheens has only been holding Farah at hooker to try and get him a blue jersey. Now that thats gone he can play him at half. Fitzy at fullback is a good call provided he plays to his potential. His catching is fine its just his half hearted kick returns that piss me off.

Its the other changes to the team that befuddled me. No Galloway? Lawerence at LOCK? :crazy:

 

[themanonthehill]

Maybe they played pass the duchy on the plane back this morning ???

Galloway being dropped is confusing me, unless he's injured.

But I'm not too concerned about Lawrence at lock. I don't think he'll play there long as I suspect Tuiaki will move into the forwards and Lawrence will go to either wing or fullback.

When he's at lock, Lawrence will just have a roaming commission to attack around the ruck and support well I suspect.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

I can't figure out what's going on with Galloway. He never seems to get enough game time and I know that's frustrating him. Perhaps it's more of an attitude thing? The only thing I can think of, unless it's injury.

Sheens isn't happy with Galloways defence. Fair criticism too.

Well he shouldn`t be happy with Halatau`s defence or attack, yet he`s kept a run on spot ???

 

[themanonthehill]

Does Galloway ever run at full throttle ?
f**king pillow

 

[madunit]

Farah will be at halfback this weekend.

 

[Young Elias]

Galloways been running hard and making metres, finally. Just about every run in his last few games he's made it over the ad line dragging a few along for the ride. We need his size. I haven't noticed his poor defence.

Galloways Stats for the last 2 games combined.

60 Minutes
31 Tackles
1 Missed Tackle
96.87% Effective Tackles
18 Hit ups/Runs
158 Metres gained
8.78 Metres made per hit up/Run
1 Offload
0 Handling Errors
0 Penalties Conceeded
0 Line Breaks
0 Points Scored.

To be fair, his stats show that he's been fairly decent in a side thats lost both those games.

The problem is with the Whole Forwards pack.

Apart from the 111 metres made by Bryce Gibbs against the Broncos, all the Tigers forwards (bench included) have failed to make 100 metres on their own in the last 2 games.

If your forwards aren't moving forward, how do you expect the rest of the team to make any inroads?

Farah has been making more tackles than any of the other forwards, been making the majority of dummy half runs for the team, and kicks, as well as being the only real player to be running the offence.

The bloke needs a f**king hand. Can we get him a handfull of forwards that move at all?
